Sagging on one side. Will airshocks help ?

My pickup is sagging on the right rear corner about 1", probably due to fatiqued leaf springs. Will adding air shocks on the rear level it out? Thanks.

Well, If you ask me..... I would say you might be better off pulling the leafs out and take them to a shop that can rearch them. If you can handle the Remove and Replace part I bet the cost would be close to what Air shocks cost. Would be a good time to do the Bushings at each end also, and that is Cheap to do. IMO.

I agree but, I dont have access to a lift and dont feel comfortable removing them in my driveway. I was looking for an easier cure for the sagging.

Sounds good PauL. Thanks. She rolls so bad now around corners that sometimes I think she is going to roll over. Really spongy. i thought the air shocks might stiffen it up a bit.
